Style. You can opt to purchase bad frames in clean and sleek lines, but you can also opt to look for metal bed frames that have stylish designs. In the past, metal bed frames could only be found in simple line designs, but technology has paved the way for bed frame manufacturers to create appealing bed frames that do not sacrifice durability and quality over style.

The lack of storage can actually be a blessing. It`s always been hard for me to part with things I don`t really need -- think, my high school prom dress, old magazines, and makeup I`ll never use -- and when I had a high bed I just shoved everything beyond my bedskirt. Without any under-the-bed space to hide these unnecessary items, I`ve had to confront, and beat, my hoarder tendencies.

Feng Shui. According to Feng Shui expert Sally Painter, the height of your bed can determine the quality of your sleep, and therefore your mood, by the levels of chi permitted. Chi is an ancient Chinese term which can be translated as energy. She suggests the chi energy needs to be able to flow around your bed. Too short a bed can block this flow of energy, preventing you from good night’s sleep. Whereas too high a bed can leave you vulnerable to high levels of energy and a restless night. She states ‘the key is to go for a happy medium without blocking the space underneath your bed’, so to avoid getting out of the wrong side of bed in the morning, choose a bed that’s the right height.
